Ganduje: Oyo Part of Our Blueprint in 2027

National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, said Oyo State was part of the blueprint of the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general election. Ganduje disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, when APC stakeholders from Oyo State, led by Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, paid him a courtesy visit.

He expressed concern about the unity of Oyo State and the homogeneity of the South-west, maintaining that the task of delivering President Bola Tinubu in 2027 must be achieved.

Ganduje stated, “Oyo State is part of our blueprint, which we call political party homogeneity. We have been looking for unity and uniformity in Oyo State. Now we are seeing elements of unity and uniformity.

“We are concerned about the unity of Oyo State and the unity of Nigeria and the homogeneity of the South-west, because our 2027 is a task that must be done.”  

The national chairman urged Oyo leaders to organise a mega stakeholders meeting in Ibadan that would involve all the members of the party to the point that the opposition would be intimated.

Ganduje added, “We made it clear when we came on board that it will not be business as usual. Political parties in developing countries are always active during election time.

“We want the party to be active in the state throughout the year. We want your party offices from the ward, to the local government levels be physically habitable and functionally operational by having constant meetings.

“I have already told you our blueprint about President Bola Tinubu. Coming home as the son of the soil, he cannot afford to see a beautiful fowl with a head of the vulture and Oyo State political party homogeneity is the answer.

“Anybody, who is patriotic about the unity of this country, anybody in love with this country, should be happy that your geopolitical zone has produced the president.”

Earlier, Adebayo said division within APC led to the electoral loss in 2019 and 2023 elections, and added that the state chapter was now united.
